How would I use this option? 
What is the syntax of a layer stack? I can't find neither in the manual. 
( http://pcb.sourceforge.net/pcb-20081128/pcb.html )
Seems like the description of options is completely out of date in the 
manual. By the way, where can I access your shiny new pcb HOWTO?

I see. However, there are legitimate reasons to print only certain groups 
of objects. In my case, our assembler suggested to remove the tracks but 
keep pads and pins. In addition, they'd like to have the pads drawn in a 
different color than the pins. Since SMD components require  

Maybe, I can tweak the postscript output HID to my needs. I assume, the 
information which layers to print on what page is hard coded into source. 
Can you point me to where this information sits?

-vv, please. I don't see a gui flag in pcb -h
